Western Mixers Produce & Nuts, Inc. of Ontario, California, has recalled First Street brand Dark Chocolate Raisins after discovering the product may contain dark chocolate peanuts — a peanut-containing ingredient not listed anywhere on the label. The recall was announced June 15, 2026. No illnesses have been reported. The product was distributed exclusively to Smart & Final stores in California through Chedraui USA. This recall is limited to a single lot code at California Smart & Final locations.
What’s Being Recalled?
The recall covers First Street brand Dark Chocolate Raisins sold in 9-ounce (255g) clear plastic containers with UPC code 7-97565-01183-0. Only containers with lot number 260562, printed on the side of the container, are included. The product was distributed exclusively to Smart & Final stores in California. No other First Street products or lot numbers are affected.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
Western Mixers Produce & Nuts discovered that the recalled Dark Chocolate Raisins may contain dark chocolate peanuts — meaning the container may include what appear to be raisins but are actually peanut-containing pieces, or the product may have been produced on shared equipment with peanuts present. Peanuts are not listed on the product label, leaving peanut allergy sufferers with no way to identify the risk. Peanut is one of the nine major food allergens recognized under federal law, and peanut allergy is among the most common triggers of anaphylaxis — a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction. For someone with a peanut allergy, consuming an unlabeled peanut product can cause reactions ranging from hives, swelling, and vomiting to life-threatening respiratory failure requiring emergency treatment. The risk is compounded by the nature of the product — dark chocolate raisins are generally considered a nut-free snack, making this a particularly unexpected source of peanut exposure for allergy-conscious consumers who read labels carefully.
What Should You Do?
If you have a peanut allergy and purchased First Street Dark Chocolate Raisins at a Smart & Final store in California, check the side of the container for lot number 260562. If your container matches, do not eat the product. Return it to the Smart & Final store where you purchased it for a full refund.
